The Sims 4 Festivals

City Living Events: Festival Schedule

The Sims 4 City Living features festival events which invite your Sim to participate in group activities, learn recipes, and maybe win prizes. Each of the five different festivals has its own theme and provides a moodlet, either through socials, having drinks available, or provides an emotional aura. While the festival schedule is somewhat random, Sims player Sid1701d9 has provided us with some data that helps to predict which festivals will happen each week.

How it Works

You do not have to live in San Myshuno to go to Festivals. On festival day, you'll get a notice, and sometimes an invite from a friendly Sim to join them at the festival. Each of the festival lots are set up to automatically change over at the designated time. If you live in the same neighborhood, there is no need to load - you'll simply leave your apartment.

Each game starts with a festival schedule which is then set to repeat every two weeks. The first festival you get helps you to determine what the schedule will be. While the schedule system isn't as predictable as we had thought, it does seem to be accurate to say, for example, that you can expect the Romance Festival to repeat every two weeks on Saturday. Two examples of likely schedules are provided below. If you get a completely different one it is easy to predict. Festivals will be every other week on the listed day.

We now have a Videos page, where I'll list every submission to our Sims 4 Gameplay Guides Channel. I'm taking feedback seriously, improving recording and sound quality and other issues with my video guides. Let me know what you think and subscribe for more like it. If you comment on the videos page with a request I may bump it higher on my to do list (no promises though!). Here is a listing of all videos released to date, in order of release:
